Cannot display some local files with a space in their name

[markuspfeiffer]

I'm loading images from the local storage using the following code:

if (file.exists() && ContentType.isImage(file)) {
    final String uri = Uri.fromFile(file).toString();
    ImageLoader.getInstance().displayImage(uri, imageView);
}

This fails with the following exception:

/storage/emulated/0/.../ad%20(1).jpg: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/.../ad%20(1).jpg: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)

// path manually truncated, due to length

It looks like the file name extracted from the URL does not decode the %20 to " ".

For verification purposes I changed the code that renames duplicate files to produce "file_(n)" instead of "file (n)". Images are now loaded correctly.

I think %20 is not translated automatically to the space char by the file system, it's an url encoded char.
If you are using an url extracted from somewhere, try tu use java.net.URI to decode the url and extract the required parameter from the query.

As you can see above, I convert the file's path to an Uri and pass that to the image loader, as required. However, the image loader then fails to load the file, i.e. this is a bug in Universal Image Loader, not my code.

The image loader does not seem to convert %20 to " " when decoding the URI to access the local file, which leads to the file not being found since the file's name on disk is "ad (1).jpg" and not "ad%20(2).jpg". When I changed the file's name to "ad_(1).jpg" the image loader successfully loaded the file.

I am also facing the same issue, kindly suggest the possible solution.
It's only with files have space in their path.

Hey,
Just solved the issue.
After getting uri using:
Uri fileUri=Uri.fromfile(fileObject);

USE: setUrl(Uri.decode(fileUri));

Cheers!

@Dcodechef How are you using setUri? (on what?)

[Dcodechef]

Use decoded uri where ever you are passing in image loader for local files.
Hope this will help.

[markuspfeiffer]

I can confirm that this solution works. My code now looks as follows:

if (file.exists() && ContentType.isImage(file)) {
    final String uri = Uri.fromFile(file).toString();
    final String decoded = Uri.decode(uri);

    ImageLoader.getInstance().displayImage(decoded, imageView);
}

I'll mark the issue as closed since this solution is really simple to use. Thanks a lot @Dcodechef.

The Uri.decode() is only really needed for local files with a blank in
their name. In your case the issue seems to be a malformed path, look at
the start of your path:

"/storage/emulated/0/storage/emulated/0"

There seems to be an issue with the code that creates your path. For
some reason the "/storage/emulated/0" is added twice.

@Dcodechef @markuspfeiffer I got the same issue,I tried to use Uri.decode(),but java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/storage/emulated/0/Pictures/Screenshots/Screenshot_2015-03-12-17-31-02.png

My code:
ImageLoader.getInstance().displayImage(Uri.decode(data.get(position).toString()),holder.imageView);
I couldn't show my local images to gridView.
